the first magnetic cooling display cases in North America

CHICAGO - Thursday, June 30th 2016 [ME NewsWire]

(BUSINESS
WIRE)-- Cooltech Applications S.A.S. (Cooltech), the world’s leading
magnetic refrigeration company, today announced a partnership with
Structural Concepts, a leading display cases manufacturer in Michigan
(USA), to integrate Cooltech’s magnetic refrigeration system (MRS) into
some of Structural Concepts’ display cases.

The MRS utilizes a
water coolant instead of a refrigerant gas—a major contributor to
climate change—resulting in an eco-friendly solution. Besides
eliminating the use of pollutant refrigerant gases and noisy
compressors, MRS cuts energy consumption by up to 50 percent, and boosts
reliability and safety.

“As the leader in manufacturing the
foodservice market’s most energy efficient and environmentally-friendly
refrigerated food display cases,” said Dave Geerts, President of
Structural Concepts, “our company is thrilled to announce our
partnership with Cooltech as our next major investment in disruptive
technology. Our partnership with Cooltech and their MRS technology will
give us the unprecedented opportunity to be on the leading edge of a
refrigeration revolution.”

“After successful product integrations
in Europe, we are delighted to introduce the technology in the USA,”
said Christian Muller, President of Cooltech. “Due to new and stricter
regulations and the perpetual quest for reducing the energy bill, we are
convinced magnetic cooling can disrupt the refrigeration and air
conditioning markets and become a true green alternative to
vapor-compression refrigeration.”

Both companies exhibited their products to major food retail chains at the recent FMI connect show in Chicago.

Availability

The
MRS is in beta testing at several sites in Europe in various
configurations and is presently available to OEMs for integration. An
MRS version generating high cooling power—20 kilowatt (kW) and over—is
under development.
